I should have gone with that one. > or the DVD sized one with a more complete system: > > > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-dvd/debian-9.0.0-i386-DVD-1.iso But thought I'd give this a try. It's nearly there. I'll install tomorrow, as it's after midnight. > Installation attempts from live-cd ISOs caused lots of complaints. > (It is unclear how many attempts succeeded.) Would it be impertinent to enquire why the malfunctioning install option is not disabled, when it only serves to tarnish the reputation of debian? (I spent 30 years developing telecommunications software. A lot of effort went into preventing the release of buggy software.) Mind you, ubuntu 16.04 doesn't install on the Udoo X86 either, bombing at boot block installation. If all else fails, I could try their own distro, but they've had enough delays getting the hardware out, and their distro might benefit from some bedding down. Debian is more of a known quantity.
